Seeking old-style Rotring 600 ballpoints

What can I say? This is the perfect pen, with its nice heft and the
cross-hatching at the bottom of the barrel. I can't find any, and was
hoping somebody on this group could recommend a source. Levenger had
been selling the old style, but it appears they're out. Please help --
I became addicted to these pens years ago and just this past weekend,
I seem to have lost my last one.

Thanks in advance.

A Quick Google came up with a bunch.
This place usually has good prices.

The new style are easy to find - he's looking for the discontinued
model. If you don't like these pens, the two models look essentially the
same. If you *do* like the pens, you wonder what they were thinking when
they changed them. :-)

If you find a source - let me know too - as I like you think they are
excellent.
The new design is presumably cheaper to make - it certainly looks cheaper,
feels cheaper, and is a very poor substitute.
They do come up on e bay occasionally - usually in the USA, where they are
invariably bought by the same buyer - who pays $50-60 each sometimes. I
don't think he has ever been outbid on these.
Good luck

Hello,
A public apology here.
I didn't enlarge the photo, and now see what you mean when you say the
rOtring 600 has been changed.
Why would they take a wonderful design and change it? Don't mess with
success!
Ken.
